Coaching & Counseling

I am part of a coaching collective at My Human Coach (MHC). As a team committed to ethical, client-centered health & wellness coaching, we meet people where they’re at with compassion and without judgment, and help them identify what holds them back from living their best life.

As a trauma therapist and certified health coach, I am especially interested in the impact of illness, trauma, and transgenerational trauma on people’s neurobiology and well-being, and the interconnection between physical, environmental, and emotional.

I’m active on this Patreon podcast where our diverse team at MHC discusses the intersection of health, wellness, and culture.

Culture
Strategy

I developed Collective Organizations, an organizational model based on story narratives that addresses how hierarchies have become obsolete in a digital age. Training in Collective Leadership training helps leaders engage diverse teams and respond to the rapid transformation of our workplaces and culture.

Collective Medicine applies this model to our medical systems.

Reach out on LinkedIn to book a leadership training, speaking engagement, or 1:1 consultations.

Caregiving &
Long Haul Illness

I am currently writing a book about the experience of caregiving a child with a long-haul illness, focusing on the challenge of belonging in our culture when experiencing health challenges.

Shame and a sense of failure was rooted in my family systems and cultural history. Yet I learned we don’t struggle because something is wrong with us, we struggle because we are human.

If you are a caregiver, please check out this self-paced course provided at no charge by the amazing coaching team at My Human Coach. I will post more about my memoir here once it is completed.

Shame and a sense of failure is often rooted in family systems and cultural history. Yet we don’t struggle because something is wrong with us, we struggle because we are human.

Creativity

It is a challenge and a privilege to lead a creative life.

I love working with leaders, artisans, writers, and all kinds of folks who make (or want to learn to make!) choices that support their creativity through well-being.

I am grateful for any opportunity to be in classrooms and workshops, supporting students of all ages in their creative explorations.

Forget thinking outside of the box. Ask who made the box and what purpose it serves.

My Human Coach

I am proud to be part of an exceptional group of health & wellness coaches who founded My Human Coach with two goals:

To provide ethical health & wellness coaching to people who will most benefit.
To build a supportive, mission-driven, collaborative, healthy and profitable business model that makes front-line health care work enjoyable and sustainable.

We refuse to monetize people’s vulnerabilities by mining their data or selling them products, so we roll up our sleeves and dive into the work of 1:1 health coaching wholeheartedly, making a better world one healthier person at a time.

An extraordinary group of people working collectively and committed to helping people help people.

About

I have a successful history of failures, learning my craft as a vulnerable human navigating broken systems.

MS, MFA, NBC-HWC

My work as a counselor and coach is informed by the belief that many of our modern workplaces and systems make it hard for people to thrive. My writing and artwork are focused on building awareness of the impact of these systems, and the need for healing as individuals so we can help create the healthy, equitable, compassionate communities and environments we all deserve.
